only the best for you...



fuzzy slippers are a must for a pampered princess...your delicate feet must be protected from the elements at all times...encased in a froth of faux fur or puffy feathers...

for as far back as i can remember...my "little" brother (who is now over 6' tall) has given me a new pair of slippers every year for christmas...and to this day...i look forward to the "new" pair i am to receive...some have been leopard (can't go wrong there)...some have been very chic & parisian...some pink & fluffy...more than anything though...it is the fact that it is from him...and this has become a little christmas tradition...all together now...awww....

but i digress...for in-house use, i'll look the other way while you pass on the high heels, as there are many times in life when a girl needs to keep her feet firmly on the ground...and first thing in the morning is certainly one of them...slippers...at times...do seem so mundane...though...

is there a way to move them farther down luxury lane?? bien sur, as the french say...but of course...

not long ago, a friend bought me some purple felt spa booties that come with a liner of lavender seeds...pop them into the microwave for a minute or so...slip them onto your already lotioned feet...and ah...heaven...a bit crunchy to walk in...but the point here is not to walk so much as to recline regally...your pampered feet raised in the air and propped on a lovely footstool...sounds so decadent...and well worth it if you can track them down...

is there a way to feel this way without the spa booties? sure...just choose your thickest...most luxurious cotton socks...sprinkle them with a few drops of water to moisten...and pop them into the microwave...slather lotion on your feet while they are warming up...then pull the toasty socks on right away...alas...the warmth doesn't last long...but it feels delicious...
